Miodes - Time to Change

Oh chicken in a rage
Sitting in a cage
Time has come to test and tease you
Sit on schemes in gestation
Time will cheat you of your nest egg

At your ease in stagnation
Time will wake and shake you
Off your feather bed

Hang onto nice things
The erratic agent comes to taint them
So un-create them
Time signs its name on everything
And age is its ensign

And though your sweet heart aches
There's no neat nemesis for its curses
See it scratches tick-tock etchings
Upon your mirror's image
You are grain, grist to the mortise

No shaman's art or magic tonic
Can halt, resist, nor forestall it
You cannot beat it
You're in retreat for
Neither time nor change
Shall cease its marching

Can you run from change?
Time will cast its nets to catch you

Can you hide from change?
Time cannot miss shall come and find you

Attempt to tussle change?
Time will more than manage to
Game, set and match you
So forget your maniac attachments
For time has come to teach you

Time chases the mice in men
Here comes your time to change!
